What Causes Sore Throat Along With Cough And Stomach Discomfort?
I have had what i assume is the flu it started as a very sore throat then congestion coughing aches pain then the stomach problems started. Everything but the cough and stomach is better. I cannot keep any food and sometimes liquid down and it s been 6 days. I also have constant watery diarrhea and immodium is not cutting it. Do i need to be seen by a doctor and would there really be anything they could do?
Since you have diarrhea for 6 days, you need to visit a doctor to check you vitals. Till then stop other medicines and drink ORS. Sporlac sachets is also advised. Use salt water gargle or betadene mouth wash to relieve sore throat and cough.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
